That screen should have or could have been called an offensive foul

    It was a great year. 35 wins. Forever to be known as “The Final Four team of 2025.” Thank you Vic and staff. Thank you ladies. Much appreciated.

standard Mulkey. Cries about fouls all game and the refs take the bait. 

Now is a ref’s chance to stick it too her. 

Of course, one could claim the sec wants to protect lsu’s 2 seed

Lol this is so bad. 

Refs clearly taken over for LSU. Alabama's coach is so confused how that wasn't a foul on the offensive rebound. 

You can’t plow into the rebounder like that. Jesus 

Barker ends up on the ground a lot with no whistle 

That's still a foul on LSU. 

You have to give the player room to make a move. LSU is clearly in her cylinder. 

She made contact but that was a hell of an acting job by Johnson

Except there is no cylinder in women’s basketball (yet)

Basketball move. Also prove me wrong - Johnson probably bit her lip 

Shocker, refs favor LSU

A Mulkey game is always going to be poorly officiated 

Oh hell yeah

Tonight was a weird night in WCBB - I’m no longer that upset about our 4 point win on the road

I do not want to be Lisa Mattingly’s cell phone after this game. 

You say that quite a bit, but what ever happens?

Alabama as a 4 seed is going to be a bitch for some #1 seed on a neutral court in the Sweet 16. 

If they had a fully healthy Barker for the entire year they would be a 2 or 3 seed.

And double suck if they end up in Birmingham

1 taken to the wire

7, 8, 11 lose on the road

3 upset at home 

Class act to go down the line to shake hands with the entire Miss St staff.    I posted before when he threw out the first pitch at the Disch couple of years ago he took time to shake each player's hand on the dugout rail.    Sweet baby Jesus,  may he win it all this year.

If all favored teams win on Sunday, this would be the bracket*

*Texas/SoCar will be determined by a coin flip after Sunday, so 1/2 is actually TBD

I think our best path to the SEC finals is being #1 - Ole Miss, then winner of OU/Kentucky.   Keep us away from Bama, Tennessee and LSU. 

You also want the earlier games - noon on Friday and 3:30 on Saturday.  Being the first game of the day is always the better option.

The only way I'd want to be #2 is if Ole Miss beats LSU and Alabama beats OU - Ole Miss, then OU/LSU winner

Thursday was the second and final top-16 reveal from the NCAA tournament selection committee. Just like with the first reveal, this one's relevance didn't last long. Every seed line was impacted, and 12 hours later the top 16 looks quite different. The most noteworthy news from Thursday evening was South Carolina's dip to a No. 2 seed. After Notre Dame's shocking home loss to Florida State, the Gamecocks are back on the 1-line as the Irish fell to a No. 2. Tennessee had moved up to a No. 3 for the committee, then lost by 24 at Kentucky: Back to a No. 4 for the Lady Vols, while the Wildcats are again a 3-seed. Alabama's stunner over LSU pushed the Crimson Tide from top-16 outsiders into the club. Their ascension now gives the SEC seven teams in the top 16 heading into the final weekend of the league's regular season.

I have a hard time seeing our #4 seed being Tennessee - the committee loves a good story and OU is sitting there on the 4 line for a potential Red River Rivalry Sweet 16.

 

Why is UConn #1 in NET?  And weren’t they that high even before the lopsided win at South Carolina?  I really don’t get it.  I’m not saying they aren’t one of the best teams and a natty favorite, but that ranking juxtaposed with scheduled and results is really bothering me.  4 Quad 1 wins up against 12 Quad 1 wins for both South Carolina and Texas underneath them?  
 

This is also intriguing as it relates to seeding.  Crème once said NET #1 has never been on the top line, but I think most agree now that the four 1’s should be Texas, both USC’s and UCLA.  Notre Dame may well be out of it now.  I think UConn is the only one who can somehow steal one from one of these teams.  I would think if Texas beats Florida and secures a tie for the SEC they would secure their #1 but I still have pause because of the UConn situation.

Margin of victory plays a significant factor with NET, and despite playing in a weaker conference they don’t play down to the level of competition.

Creme has long said what hurts UConn this year is the lack of Q1 wins.  They played 7 Q1 games so far, but they basically split them - 4-3

The committee largely agrees, because they have UConn 6th overall as of last night.  It's far too late for UConn to move to the 1 line, because like you said, the Q1 wins do not favor them.  It's a glaring hole in their resume. 

UConn - 4
SoCar - 12
Texas - 12
ND - 6
UCLA - 10
USC - 9

Huge reason why Texas/USC/UCLA look pretty secure and SoCar moved above ND after last night. ND is also having the same Q1 issue, which is why they will likely be #5.  They win the NCST and FSU games and they have 8 instead.

I don't think Texas is in danger at all - we are #2 in the committee rankings.  If UConn theoretically was going to steal a 1 line, it would be from the committee's 3 or 4 (USC/SoCar), but ND is still ahead of them AND beat UConn H2H.

Yep, they beat the shit out of the Big East, significantly.  They also play the toughest OOC schedule and get rewarded (#1 non-conf SOS)

NET also factors in efficiency ratings and UConn is high on that - they are #1 in Bart Tovik in offense and defense.

Also you can go back and look historically at their Q1 record, pre-tournament: 

2021 - 7 Q1 wins
2022 - 7Q1 wins
2023 - 14 Q1 wins
2024 - 9 Q1 wins

Many here have related how important it may be to have one of the top one or two 1 seeds relative to just merely being a 1 seed.  It’s starting to look like only Texas OR South Carolina could do that.  Makes you wonder if the potential SEC tourney final rubber type match would be for this distinction.  Seems that it could really play out that way.  
 

I think for sure you don’t want UConn as your 2, probably not ND but then you have to see that you really may not want NC State as your 2 either…. Lots to move here and see how those dominoes fall.  As of now whether that is LSU, UNC, TCU whoever I think that’s who you want as your 2 and not from the former group of teams I mentioned.

Nothing the public ever sees. Could result in a loss of conference tournament games, demotion of the amount of games you were going to get in the conference tournaments, if the NCAA Coordinator of Officials is watching/nearby it could harm your chances there if you were already selected, and worst case you don’t get your contract renewed. All 3 of those refs will get renewed, though. 

One of those refs from last night’s Alabama/LSU game lives out near Lubbock and has for decades.

Brian Hall, right?

I made a comment about how badly the game was officiated on Reddit and someone said “typical Brian Hall game”

Yup.

Weirdly enough, Brian is originally from my hometown of Gainesville and went to high school with a few of my cousins. He was always one of the nicer refs during summer camps. Some of the others, not so much.

The SEC is swimming in money if they can get a coin made just for this moment with the 2 specific teams. 

Jesus, just put a Longhorn and Gamecock logo on pieces of paper and draw it out of one of Saban’s straw hats.

I’m sure it will be rigorously tested for balance.

I heard from Craig Way earlier that we will be co-champions if we and SC win on Sunday. Then, during half-time of the Ole Miss vs LSU game, Sankey will flip a coin to determine who is #1 seed for the SEC tournament. Sorry if this was said previously.

I haven't done a deep drive into any of the other contenders' resumes, but it strikes me there are some parallels between this UCONN team and what we just saw play out with Ohio State in football. Now having all their main pieces in place, the Huskies are going to be a really hard out. Not sure who's any better than the Huskies as March begins.

That said, I'd be happy for Texas to face them in the Final Four, as that would at least mean we've taken another big step in our program's ascension. Just reaching that point is going to take some heavy lifting for any of the projected #1s, though. As it now shapes up, I could see any of a half-dozen or so teams being the last one standing. A totally crazy March awaits.
